i have a bridged modem/router that is supplied via isp to this i currently have a netgear 4500 router attached all is fine.
But I would like to put my openwrt DIR825 in between and turn off the dhcp and some other services on the net-gear router and let this and other stuff to be handled by the DIR825. ie trun the Net gear in to a expensive switch for wireless and local hosts.
netgear will have ipadd 192.168.1.2
dir825 will have 192.168.1.1
reserved ipadd for hosts and various gadgets 192.168.1.3,4,5,6,101

I will not be using the wireless on the dir825 it is much slower then the netgear and i have plenty of coverage.

Is this logical and will it work?

well It worked but i am having issues setting up static leases.... see above Luci just keeps restarting "https://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/;stok= … twork/dhcp"
I also cant seem to reach Luci though the netgear wifi? internet and other services work fine though
it seams that https was the error every thing is working fine.
i removed the Wlan devices as they are not needed but feel free to recommend useful packages.
